War- ren of Michigan to be Attorney Gerieral because it could not be confirmed. The leaders who visited the White House early in the day sald the chief executive had given them no indication as to what his course would be but some of them were of the-opin- jon that he would make another selection. . Mr.“ Coolidge was informed ‘that the full support for Mr. Warren had been counted in the votes yesterday when the nomi- nation was rejected 40 to 40 the absent Republican Senators fav- orable to confirmation being paired with Senators, in opposi- ‘tion. Washington, March 11.—(By the A. P.)—The Senate rejection of the no- mination of Charles B. Warren of an to be “Attorney General at a session yesterday, colored by the dramatic effort of Republicans to overturn a tie vote on confirmation, has left the question of filling that office enveloped in uncertainty. With the White House declining to com- iment on the matter there was no in- dication today what course Presi- dent Coolidge might pursue, Only by the President’s re-sub- mission of the nomination can it in come before the Senate, whose action yesterday, after voting 40 to» 40 on confirmation, in finally tabling 41 to 39 a motion to reconsider, as the upshot of hurried Republican strategy to overtutn the tie, is fin- al and irrevocable. As an alternative to resubmitting the Warren nomination or sending u new name to the Senate, the Pré+ sident may either leave Solicitor General Beck in charge of.the Just- ice Department until the next ses- sion of Congress or make a recess appointment for that period. A number of administration Sena- tors visited the White House early “today to discuss the situation grow- ing out of the rejection of Mr. War- ren’s nomination but none uf them would undertake to interpret the views or purposes of Mr. Coolidge. Senator, Cummins of. Iowa,\Chair- yman of the Judiciary Committee, which favorably reported the nom- ination, said that he could not see where another vote would change the situation, adding that most of the Senators who were absent yester- day were paired. Indications that a new name might be sent to the Senate revived dis- cussion among Senatots as to the possibility of confirming such & selection, should it “be made from among the list of men who were un- der consideration when Mr. Warren was chosen. These included Arthur P. Rugg, Chief Justice of the Mas- wachusetts Supreme Court, Gover- nor Groesbeck of Michigan, and sothers, GOES TO WASHINGTON Detroit, Mar. 11.—Charles B. War- ren whose nomination to be Attor- ney General was turned down by the Senate yesterday, “left at noon for Washington, where tomorrow he will discuss with President Coolidge and Senate Republican leaders what fu- ture course of action is to be taken.

In brief the commissioner ap- proves the claim after the goods are delivered and consumed and the city is legally liable thereon despite ap- proval or rejection. A number of cases were found where not only the city auditor but the board itself approved claims not presented in conformity with law.

After a brief stay here the party will leave on an extended tour of the Holy Land.

But, there is nothing in an economic way to prevent the city commission from de- signating some existing officer ‘us for instance the city auditor to act in the capacity of a city purchasing agent and with beneficial results. To- day each department makes its own purchases irrespective of the needs or wants of another. By creating a central agency, this officer would be in a position to lump the needs of all departments for any particular class of goods and this might re- suit in a sufficient amount as to make possible the letting of a con- tract therefor, whicn should mean a reduction in price for the goods. Again,, wherg ‘this: was .not, feasible, it would permit shopping among the various merchants in an_ informal goods. a possible abuse of power, but this is not an insurmountable objection. The first step in the making a pur- chase along proper lines would be department head to the commissioner in charge thereof and who, is re- sponsible for its conduct to the peo- ple. This document should show the need for the goods, the kind and quantity desired, thé place of deliv- ery, and the estimated cost thereof. The commissioner should be requir- €d to approve the same in writing so as to fix the responsibility for the expenditure.
